This drama is one in a long line of Bogart / Becall collaborations, though one of the weaker ones. While it's always great to hear them banter, this film doesn't offer anything more than the basic motions of plot and dialogue. The most interesting aspect was the first-person cinematography in the fist half of the movie, an underused form used extremely well here. Unfortunately, it's the same reason the technique stops being used that keys in the viewer about why it was used in the first place, and that undercuts its impact significantly. It's not a classic, but there are worse movies to watch for an hour and 45, old or new alike.
Broken Arrow (1950) - 3/5
This is an overlooked gem that I only heard about by happenstance. It's older and campy, but it's always a treat to watch Jimmy Stewart's performances. It's a little-told part of American history, which is always fun, but the style is certainly dated. The diplomatic language was exquisite and cut so brilliantly to the heart of each conflict in question that it almost bumped it up to a 4/5 for me by itself. All told, though, at the very least it could use a non-gritty remake with an emphasis on dialogue.
